Flower Power

Hugely popular in the mid-to-late 1960s and early '70s.

These, like the owl pendants from the Seventies*, are getting harder and harder to find.

Owl pendants based on the old designs are currently being made in China.  If you come upon a vendor at a flea market, antiques show, etc. etc. etc. who seems to have a lot of them, with multiples of the same designs, it's more than likely they're brand-new, not the genuine vintage article. Especially if they feel very light.  The real thing has some heft to it. 

Fortunately for us purists, they haven't got around to reproducing the flowers yet.
